Last weekend, We had Barcamp Bangalore 8 at Yahoo! Campus. I met lot of people during the event and most them were from different background. Students, working professionals from start-ups as well as big companies, freelancers and few entrepreneurs too.
One of the session was Open Source Licencing model which discussed few of various licence. We had good discussion on few framework for web-site and on Twitter and Facebook. I had good discussion with Prakaz over life as freelancer. Parkaz had left his day job and started working as freelancer, he is good photographer too. To conclude, I had nice discussions at BCB8 and I felt, I did take back somethings with me. Dhempe had taken few video clips during BCB8 and have uploaded here.

Barcamp Bangalore 7

We recently had 7th Edition of Barcamp Bangalore on September 13 and 14, 2008 at IIM-Bangalore. General Information about Barcamp Bangalore
This was my second barcamp and I enjoyed following sessions:
BeagleBoard : Beagleboard is Open Source project (both in-terms of hardware and software.) Beagle is low power OMAP3530 based platform and provideis high performance at low-cost. At barcamp, Khasim demonstrated Angstrom Linux running on Beagleboard and played Big Buck Bunny movie. One can execute GIMP and Firefox 3 on Angstrom running on Beagle.
Firefox Indic Localization : Firefox has various Indian Language variations. There are quite a few volunteers in India contributing to Indian Language port of Firefox. One of them had came to Barcamp and explained how one can involved in Indic Localization.
CallGraph : Skype call recorder. CallGraph.in demonstrated plug-in for Skype, using which you can record call. Some of the feature of Callgraph is one can directly upload recored call conversions to mail account or web-account. One can also share stored call using widget.
Muziboo Online Recorer : Muziboo demonstrated new feature of their web-site, Online recording. Muziboo now provides facility to online record, thus Singer does not have to recored on his computer and manually upload song to their account.
Session on Python 3 and Wikipedia gave a good inside on both of them. An interactive session on E-Learning had lot of discussion and interesting ideas.
Other non-techi interesting sessions were on Cycling and Paragliding, both sessions excited me. I seen verity of cycles together (as many as 12+ different models). I got opportunity to take a round of IIM on one of available cycle too. I also had good amount of chat with Yusuf Motiwala of Tring Me, ranging from linux, multimedia, Gujarat and many more things.
